Unstitched Solid

[Anonymous]

Hello:

I received a STEP file of a UV purifier from the equipment manufacturer.
The model is all made of unstitched bodies.
I looked at several tutorials that deal with converting unstitched bodies to solid bodies. I tried stitching and converting and, I can't get the model to be converted into solid bodies.

I created a few components to keep some parts independent from the main body

The reason I need solid bodies is for the equipment to show on 2D drawings

I don't losing some bodies as long as I can get a body to print
Anyone can help to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance

Can you zip and Attach the original STEP file here?

That model was created explicitly as reference material and a lot of surfaces have been removed int the export process. As such stitching isnlt going to do you any good.

You'll likely have to try to thicken the main surfaces ( with the thicken function in the Surface tab) until a somewhat complete assembly is recognizable.

Can you zip and Attach the original STEP file here?  (This isn't supposed to be a trick question - it has a binary yes/no answer.)
